Hi the brushes for the combination carpet/hard flooring nozzle are soft enough that they will not scratch any surface. If you want you can always get the hardwood floor attachment which is made of horsehair bristles, which are firm but gentle cleaning of your hard flooring surfaces. hope this helps.

The standard brush is fine and I used it for six months. However, I also found it a little hard on the wood flooring so I purchased the Parquett Twister SBB 300-3. Most of my floors are tile but I do have some sections of carpets and wood flooring. The original brush is still best for tile and carpets but this Twister is ideal for wood flooring and does an excellent job.Highly recommended.

I have used the Miele on hardwood floors and I had no problem with it. It works just fine.

We have wood floors and haven't seen any marks. You do need t make sure the wheels don't pick up debris after going outside.

The brush is only for rugs. Instructions say to turn off the brush for hard surfaces. With the brush on, the vacuum will throw particles around on a hardwood floor. The vacuum itself rolls around easily so it shouldn't cause any problems.

The legs do not have floor protectors - you could probably apply some if desired. Note- I have the tables on my hardwood floors and have not noticed any scratches

I think they should be called soft. That's what they are labeled and what I always use. Don't detect that they are any different than what I always use. Had a little problem with the first one I used. Some bristles came loose after a few brushings but, so far, that hasn't continued as a problem.

I use soft brushes made for cleaning baby items. They do a great job. And after you're done using it, always run it one more time with soap and water. That really cleans out your blades and the rest of the apparatus (minus the lid and its crevices).

I have never replaced mine but I am sure you can buy replacements from Amazon that is where I would look first Then I would do an internet search. My brushes are holding up very well on wood floors if you need to clean brushes I would use a rag dampened with mineral spirits in a well ventilated room.

I'd say that the brushes are soft. The brush stiffness does not seem to impact the cleaning for me. It is all about the ionic charge.

Furniture movers work well on hardwood floors. As far as the weight of the item I would be careful while moving it to be sure it does not scratch.

Yes, the brush is very soft. I bought it specifically for hardwood floors as we have them throughout our house. This brush does a great job and since the bristles are so soft, it's very easy to vacuum them clean. You won't be disappointed.

I have never had a problem with damage or stains. Please keep in mind regular floor cleaning is the key to keeping the looks up on a hardwood floor. Once a week I always remove the Matt, mop wood floors with clean hot water and will leave the Matt at a different area of the floor over night so as the usual covered area had a chance to air out.

I have wood floors also and it does fine on mine. I haven't noticed any damage from the sweeper. I really like it.

Go to Home Depot and ask about the type of paint... I know certain brushes fall apart so be carefull

The wheels are soft. The chart provided by Amazon is incorrect. This model uses the exact same wheels used on the MC-CG917 and MC-CG902. Same part number. I use this machine on polished hardwood floors and the wheels do not mar the finish or leave any scratches.

The brush is rigid stainless steel - you probably should refer to your manual/manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, etc.

I have hardwood floors as well. The brush actually flips the dirt up in the to vacuum part. Haven't had any problems at all. My floors are very dark, and show any scuff or mark, and I've not seen one from this little sweeper.

I have maple wood flooring. I have not seen any problem and I use the brush on it. The vac has the option of using the brush or not if you are concerned. I do not have pets. I do have a number of grandchildren who leave crumbs and track in debris from the yard. This is why I bought it and love it.
